πολλάκις

Matthew 17:15 πολλάκις πολλάκις often

“Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said. “He has seizures and is suffering terribly. He often falls into the fire or into the water.

Here: “Often.” Saying it twice stresses that the danger keeps happening.

Mark 5:4 πολλάκις often

Though he was often bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and shattered the shackles. Now there was no one with the strength to subdue him.

Mark 9:22 πολλάκις often

“It often throws him into the fire or into the water, trying to kill him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”

John 18:2 πολλάκις often

Now Judas His betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples.

Here: This was not a one-time hiding place but a habitual meeting spot. Only John says this outright, though Luke says Jesus went to the Mount of Olives 'as was his custom' (Luke 22:39).

Acts 26:11 πολλάκις often

I frequently had them punished in the synagogues, and I tried to make them blaspheme. In my raging fury against them, I even went to foreign cities to persecute them.

Here: Repeated action. This was a sustained campaign, not one outburst.

Romans 1:13 πολλάκις many times

I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, how often I planned to come to you (but have been prevented from visiting until now), in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.

Here: This was not one passing idea. He made the plan again and again, which shows how seriously he meant it.

2 Corinthians 8:22 πολλάκις often

And we are sending along with them our brother who has proven his earnestness to us many times and in many ways, and now even more so by his great confidence in you.

2 Corinthians 11:23 πολλάκις. often.

Are they servants of Christ? (I am speaking as if I were out of my mind.) I am so much more: in harder labor, in more imprisonments, in worse beatings, in frequent danger of death.

Here: 'Often.' It closes the summary line, and vv.24–27 then unpack it in detail.

2 Corinthians 11:26 πολλάκις, often,

In my frequent journeys, I have been in danger from rivers and from bandits, in danger from my countrymen and from the Gentiles, in danger in the city and in the country, in danger on the sea and among false brothers,

Here: 'Often' goes with the journeys. Paul's travel was a way of life, not a few trips. The same word comes back twice in v.27 (often sleepless, often without food), so the list keeps its rhythm.

2 Corinthians 11:27 πολλάκις, πολλάκις, often,

in labor and toil and often without sleep, in hunger and thirst and often without food, in cold and exposure.

Here: "Many times." It repeats the "often" of verses 23 and 26 and stresses that these were not one-off episodes.

Philippians 3:18 πολλάκις often

For as I have often told you before, and now say again even with tears: Many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.

Here: Paul has warned them about these people more than once, on his visits or in earlier letters. The warning is not new, and that is part of why it hurts.

2 Timothy 1:16 πολλάκις often

May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he has often refreshed me and was unashamed of my chains.

Here: It was not a one-off kindness. He came back again and again, each time knowing the risk.

Hebrews 6:7 πολλάκις often

For land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is tended receives the blessing of God.

Here: Stresses how much the land has been given. This matches the long list of gifts in verses 4–5.

Hebrews 9:25 πολλάκις repeatedly

Nor did He enter heaven to offer Himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.

Here: The emphatic word, placed early. It sets up the contrast with ἅπαξ, 'once', in 9:26 and 9:28. Repetition belongs to the old system. Christ's act is single.

Hebrews 9:26 πολλάκις repeatedly

Otherwise, Christ would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But now He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of Himself.

Here: Repeats the 'repeatedly' of v. 25. It is set against 'once' (hapax) later in the verse. The whole argument depends on the contrast between many times and one time.

Hebrews 10:11 πολλάκις repeatedly

Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

Here: 'Many times, repeatedly'. This is the deliberate opposite of ἐφάπαξ, 'once for all', in verse 10, and of 'one sacrifice' in verse 12. Hebrews plays 'many times' against 'once' throughout (9:25–28).
